How to Make Fried Banana Chips - Indian Style

Always a favorite, don’t you agree? Fried Banana Chips are a staple in my home - whether as a crispy snack or a crunchy side dish for vegetarian and non-vegetarian meals. I’ve made these Indian-style banana chips countless times, and they never fail to satisfy (CRISPY FRIED BITTER GOURD).

This recipe is pure vegetarian, vegan, and plant-based, made using raw green bananas - known as Valakkai in Tamil. You might hear them referred to as Valakkai chips or sometimes Valakkai poriyal, although poriyal typically refers to stir-fries (FRIED CAULIFLOWER RECIPES).

Kopitiam Review: Kawan Place Kota Kemuning

Located on a corner lot in Kota Kemuning, Shah Alam, Selangor, Kawan Place offers a choice of indoor or outdoor seating. Green is their highlight color - seen on the signboard, façade, and dining area - while the overall ambiance feels clean and welcoming.

Chinese Steamed Chicken Recipe

By far, the easiest, simplest, and most uncomplicated Chinese steamed chicken recipe. This is a homemade version, not to be compared with restaurant-style steamed chicken. Mine is different - I've added my own twist while keeping it budget-friendly (NO-COOK EASY CHICKEN SALAD).

Steamed food is generally healthier than fried food, and this Chinese steamed chicken is no exception. The minimalist cooking method keeps it light and clean. It’s perfect for a light dinner, and if you’re having an early meal, pair it with a small portion of rice. You can also discard the chicken skin if you prefer a leaner version (CHICKEN RENDANG RECIPE).

Mental Health Benefits of Nature

In today’s fast-paced urban life, the focus - or rather, the unspoken truth - is on success, achievements, and fame. The daily grind, constant hustling, and overwhelming traffic and pollution contribute to rising stress, burnout, and mental exhaustion. The digital age has also introduced screen fatigue and a culture of prolonged sitting, both of which negatively impact our overall well-being (BENEFITS OF BUTTERFLY BLUE PEA FLOWER).

Best Turmeric Rice Recipe: Rice Cooker Style

Turmeric rice is not just delicious - it's a golden symbol of wellness and cultural fusion. At the heart of this dish is turmeric powder, an essential spice in Indian cooking and a celebrated ingredient worldwide for its numerous health benefits (HOMEMADE EASY MANGO CHUTNEY). With the rise of healthy eating and holistic wellness, turmeric has earned its place in kitchens around the globe.

In this recipe, turmeric is the star ingredient, delivering its signature golden hue and earthy, peppery flavor. You might ask, why is this the best turmeric rice recipe? Well, during one of my best memorable travels - to South Africa - I learned to make South African Yellow Rice, a dish influenced by the Indian community there (PRETORIA SOUTH AFRICA MOMENTS).
